All thanks to you. .....................................................
When I look back in my life, I never thought I'd be living the life that I am living right now. Never knew my blog would end up being one of my main sources of income/freebies(thanks to advertorials and sponsors). Never thought I'd ever walk down a runway in front of hundreds of people(cos i'm not tall or skinny enough... FACT. Ever seen a runway model anot? I am not runway model material for sure, but I'm still glad to be given such opportunities. hahaha).
Never thought I'd have young girls or young women look up to me or look at me as one of their role models. I am still in total shock about this too because I'm far from perfect.
I just never though I'd be where I am today la to sum it all up. I'm not trying to imply that I am some big shot or celebrity in Singapore because I know I'm not. I'm farrr from it. But, I guess my life still pretty much differed from my friends a little. They'd be studying, and I'd be at a photoshoot. They'd be hanging out and I'd be busy blogging for you guys. They'd be chilling and I'd be at more photoshoots, runway events or other sort of events. Hahah, I guess my busy life is partially to blame for having drifted from a few of my friends along the way too. But I'm not regretting it at all.Even if I could,I would never want to change any part of it, even if it meant losing friends. Because truthfully.... if they were really true friends....... then no matter what, they'd understand and still stick by you right?
So to any one of you who have to make the choice between pleasing a friend/someone else in particular and yourself. Always go for the latter because opportunities don't come by everyday and a real friend would support you. This applies to your boyfriends and girlfriends too. Live your life for you and not for someone else because it is YOUR LIFE. And you are only given ONE life. If you have something you love doing, Do it. Don't for one second ever think about not doing it just to please somebody else because life is too short. And nobody ever grows younger. You only get older. And I'm sure you don't wanna look back one day and think to yourself 'Damn. I wish I had done 'blablabla', I wish I didn't 'blablablabla' because honestly there's no point wishing you had done things differently when you know for a fact things can never be different.
Chase your dreams and do whatever makes you happy. If there's one thing I learnt in life is that sometimes 'sacrifice comes with a heavy price'. You can never guarantee that things will go the way you want it to even if you sacrifice what you love for somebody else. Life's too uncertain and anything can happen. Man, you might even end up resenting the person who made you sacrifice 'that particular thing'. That wouldn't be good right? It's not worth it. Because like I said, a true friend/boyfriend/girlfriend or whoever, if they really love you and support you, they'd be happy for you, they'd want to give you their full support and still be there for you regardless. A person who abandons you for it, is someone who isn't worth it. Trust me when I say this. Not Worth It.
I know you guys are probably wondering... "Hm... what is this crazy girl rambling on and on about?" Well.... I guess it's something that has been in my mind for a long time. I'm not going to share my entire life story with you but yeah, the gist of this blog entry is honestly what has kept me awake on most nights...
To the next point...........
And yes... I know I have not been religiously answering my formspring questions that you guys have written in. I promise to answer them though. I know there are some questions that have been posted weeks and weeks ago. I'm sorry, I've just not really been much of myself these few months. On top of that, I recently was so busy with exams. I thought I'd be more free to blog after my exams, but now with the whole planning of my blogshop and yadayada, I now have something else to be real busy for. And not forgetting the fact, I have 2 BLOGS NOW. Hahaha.
A particular reader sent this to me on Formspring which honestly made me think a lot. I want to share it with you guys.
"I really feel like youve been neglecting your blog and fs. As an avid reader of your blog, its kinda disappointing seeing how you rarely blog and ans your qns. and when u do blog, theyre all really short posts. I feel like u can put in so much more effort.
I know its not an obligation since its YOUR blog and we have the choice of reading or not. However, it wld be nice to know tt you take blogging seriously enough especially when i feel like your blog readers have supported you when u ask them too.
Even reading your blog religiously shows our support which in turn allows you to earn. k im talking jibberish now. I do not at all intend to diss you. If you feel like this is rude and Im a 'hater' then pls do not ans this. I just wanted to tell you how i as a reader feel".
I know I have been pretty lazy in doing proper blog posts and honestly I am very sorry from the bottom of my heart. I do love blogging but I guess like all bloggers, you need to feel inspired to be able to up a proper blog entry. The past few months and weeks I haven't been in the best of spirits, neither have I really been inspired much as compared to the old days when I'd blog ever so regularly.
The thing is, I don't want to force myself to do a blog entry because I realize whenever I do, it's never a good blog entry. Whereas, for this particular blog entry, the words are just flowing out so naturally I don't even have to stop to think about what I want to say. Inspiration, that's what I'd call it. Truth be told, you guys are my inspiration. I've always loved blogging ever since I was 14, but you guys inspire me to keep going. There are times when I just want to shut down this blog because my blog has not only done good for me in my life, but it has also done alot of bad for me. Haters........
In the beginning when I first had formspring it was really fun answering all your questions. Till stupid questions and hate comments started rolling in. Some that really hurt a lot and made me cry. But of course, that was then. I learnt to numb myself from all these hate comments, that I know for a fact that I've become so much more stronger as a person. I've learnt so much through my blog. Who'd have thought this little online journal could do so much for me right? I know I never thought it could.
It never really occurred to me till this question that I have so much to be thankful for. Not only do I have to be thankful for my friends, my family, the many opportunities I get in life.... I also have YOU GUYS to be thankful for. Thank you for reading this little space and for caring about a person you have probably never met in real life(me. haha). Thank you for all your support! :) I promise there'll be more entries coming in! Just gotta do some soul searching again to find some sorta inspiration. The day that happens, I promise I'LL BE BACK(In the voice of 'The Terminator').
ANYWAY, If you've read about my Femmex blog entry in my Style blog, you'll probably know I went to Femmex recently with Namira to do some shopping! :)
In Orchard!
So many people who walked past kept staring. I'm in Orchard Cineleisure by the way. Everyone must have thought Namira and I were both crazy or something. Hahaha. Wearing sunnies and squatting indoors.
Even bumped into a follower/reader of mine while I was doing this little 'mini indoor photoshoot'. Hahaha.She was so sweet though. She asked me to take a picture with her. Awwwww..... :') Didn't think people would do that! It's always nice meeting readers in person. :)
And for some strange reason, I suddenly had this weird idea to do a mini photoshoot just for fun! So, please prepare your eyes for major camwhoring pictures.LOL. Thanks to Namira the photographer. :P
Wah... I look quite cool here. HAHAHA.
My dear Namira (:
Acting 'Cool'.But I am cool right? YOU BETTER SAY I AM. Hahahhah!
Love this shot!! :D
Me and my Femmex shopping bag with all my gooodies inside! :D You'll have to read my Style blog to know what I bought. Mwahahaha.
Namira then took out her Polaroid cam and we started taking more pictures! It was really a camwhoring day. It always is whenever I'm out with her. Hahahah.
Anyway to my dear blog readers, just want to let you guys know that my Blogshop collection 'will be launching tonight at around 11pm! I'll be tweeting the exact time again later on Twitter so follow me! (@sofiadendroff). Items in limited stock and when I mean limited, I'm talking like 1 piece per design?!?!~ I know, it's gonna be this way for the first collection only. Next collection onwards I'll bring in more pieces!!
The blogshop URL, I'll only be revealing it through twitter later as well. It's not launching in this blog ah. I repeat, IT IS NOT LAUNCHING IN THIS BLOG. Hope you guys will support me! :D
